A new Sociology of Development Policy Brief is out! Volume 8, Issue 4 (2023) is: “Relational Work in the Family: The Gendered Microfoundations of Parents’ Economic Decisions,” by Aliya Hamid Rao (the London School of Economics & Political Science, UK).

Below is a message from our policy brief editor, Alaka M. Basu:

As usual, I welcome expressions of interest to contribute. While I am open to any ideas you have, your pitch should ideally include a reference to something you have published on the subject, so that we can assume a base level of peer reviewing of the material. There should also be some clear policy implications arising from the piece.

Thanks again,
